It occurred to me that one of the more absurd aspects about the 'ACHIEVE N1/FLUENCY IN 12 MONTHS FROM ZERO' style videos that pop up, typically gloss over the fact that the 常用漢字 alone represents about a decade of literacy-building for even native learners. Literacy by nature, takes time and effort.

Finally getting back to E.X. Troopers

I just found out my book is longer than Genki (and at a fraction of the price). I did make it a goal to mostly cover N5 and N4 points and some N3 and N2 points naturally came as part of the material so I guess that's to be expected. And it's only going to get bigger

Here's a little chart to show how Unlock Japanese compares to other textbooks. #learnJapanese

To address the lack of resources teaching actual Japanese grammar taught in Japan, I have written a book based off my classes and notes. It covers the basics from writing, vocab, grammar, and skills Available across Amazon stores US: a.co/d/0eZJoJIR JP: amzn.asia/d/0hvsxAXY #日本語勉強 #Japanese

Age of Calamity has been beaten. Had a good time with the kid that I even bought the DLC.

Forget the Hyrule Warriors title. Age of Calamity is truly the first Legend of ZELDA

Repost for different timezone If you are struggling in the intermediate level or feel like Japanese is hard and complex, this is partly why. Good news is I have a solution packed with explanations, written for new learners and intermediate. #learnJapanese #日本語勉強 #studyJapanese

Sad Truth: Most materials for learning Japanese teach pseudo-grammar, not the real grammar. As a result, learning Japanese is made much harder than it actually ought to be. So I have worked on a resource and it's now available youtu.be/bA7xCF-AArE Please like and share #learnJapanese #日本語勉強

I would once again like to point out how hilarious it is that Xenoblade got away with naming their cat girl characters "Nya" and "Meow"

What is the biggest obstacle for you learning Japanese?

Hot take: People like learning. It's studying that people hate

Been playing Age of Calamity and I'm glad I waited for Switch 2. Frame drops still exist but very rare. Been a mostly smooth experience. Also the best warriors game I've played so far.

Who is a more passionate videogame fan? The one who 100%ed everything, explored every nook and cranny, and got all the achievements? Or the one who was moved by the game itself and moved on to the next one? I argue both. Discuss.

Finally almost ready to launch my Japanese project. It is packed and should be a big help to anyone who wants to start learning Japanese and those struggling in the intermediate stage. It has no AI content. All was crafted by me with my teacher. Estimated launch: Next Week Stay tuned

Looking at the numbers quoted in the article, it's more accurate to say physical is 20% of console sales. PC numbers need to be excluded since there is no physical alternative. Recall that Pragmata was also sold out physically at launch here www.pushsquare.com/news/2026/07...

Part of me really wants to replay Skyward Sword But my backlog...

Kumamoto :(

I knew my project was big, but now that I am putting the pieces together... Wow...

I now have a bunch of photos but I would like more to pick from. Again, no AI photos. This project is no AI.

I'm working on a Japanese project and as a bonus, I would like to include photos of Japan. If you would like yours included, please share for me to pick from. Some reqs: - No privacy issues (e.g. license plates, faces not self) - How you want me to credit you (e.g. name or profile) - Royalty-free

Here's a thought. What if all of the Microsoft and Xbox layoffs were just an attempt to deceive investors? What if it's really that AI and Game Pass investment was so bad that they are just manipulating the finances?

Some cards I have available for trade. If there is something you want, let me know and let's trade #pokemontcgpocket
